2014 Summer Report and Photographs

First of all a big thank you to John Fitzgerald and Jim Pike for organising and successfully running the summers competitions. This year the Reliant Trophy and Eleanor McCraw were played in the morning of roll up days, Tuesday and Thursday. This proved very successful with the majority of the twenty-eight plus entries taking part in both competitions Sincere thanks to Ron Lloyd who has worked brilliant and tirelessly throughout the summer supporting John and Jim.

In July John and Jim decided to give playing across the green a try. It was very much better and until something is done with the carpet problems, it will be continued. Just to let you know Anthony has had green experts in and with luck something will be done. Watch this space.!!!!!
